Episode 18 - 10,000 mile grand tour? The craziest road trip with Sami and Ed
This week, Sami and Ed join us to give us a peek into the Mongol Rally, the crazy 10,000 mile road trip that they will be undertaking in 2023. This is like nothing you've seen on The Grand Tour, we're talking 20 countries and up to 3 months on the road. Not enough? Oh, did we mention the maximum engine capacity is 1,200cc? We talk about how they're preparing for the trip, get the download on the cars they've chosen and talk about the reason they are going on this epic yet clearly insane adventure. We also touch on UAE car clubs, with Sami currently heading up the Dubai Renault Club and Ed managing the very small yet dedicated UAE Morgan Club.

Episode 16 - Arun Manoharan

This week Arun joins us to discuss his journey through the world of photography, eventually becoming one of the region's best known commercial automotive photographers.   

We discuss the great length he goes to understand how a car behaves in certain environments to create the most realistic and compelling images that you see everyday on Sheikh Zayed Road or inside brochures and don't even realise.  

Arun tells us about his further aspirations and how a Lamborghini global campaign is the true goal, with local dealer photoshoots being more of a low-hanging fruit and something that photographers should all drive to exceed the standard of.

Episode 15 - Sultan Al Suwaidi and Wissam Hatim

This week, Sultan Al Suwaidi and Wissam Hatim join us to discuss why sponsorships are so scarce in this region, despite the enormous costs associated with motorsport.  

We also hear about Sultan's devastating karting accident that proves even the safest motorsports can be dangerous.  

Wissam talks to us about his passion for tuning and his love of constantly tweaking to get a faster time, as well as progress on a K-swapped GT86 that he and Sultan will drive together next season.

Episode 14 - Dave Egan - Driftgames
This week, Dave Egan from Driftgames and organiser of the Emirates Drift Championship (EDC) joins us to discuss drifting in the UAE and how it stacks up against the best of the best from across the globe.   We discuss how the Middle East drift scene evolved from freestyle drift and how that makes for a more unique and theatrical event here, as well as the passion of those trying to make a name for themselves in the local and international drifting scene.   We also try to rationalise why car people choose impractical and in every way inadequate cars over and above the latest modern cars that are way more practical, fuel efficient, fast and drivable.

Episode 13 - Flat12

This week Mohammed - the man behind Flat12 - finally joins us to discuss the car scene in the UAE with a focus on events, of which he is responsible for some of the biggest and highest quality across the country.   

We discuss the ever-growing popularity of The Grand Picnic as well as Ramadan Drives and the long-term sustainability of running events for free when the rest of the world has been charging entry for many years now.  We also recognise the huge amount of effort it requires from Mohammed and his team to organise and run such events; essentially a second job that has its own pressures, challenges and rewards.
